Göteborg, the maritime capital of Swedish art
Situated on the west coast of Sweden, Göteborg (Gothenburg) is both a port, a modern city, and a hub of artistic creation. Since the 19th century, the city has attracted painters and travelers fascinated by its marine light, canals, lively quays, and open horizons over the North Sea.
It is within this unique atmosphere that the Göteborg school developed, a major painting movement that marked the history of Swedish art with its luminous realism and deep connection to nature.
Through this collection, Artem Legrand pays tribute to Göteborg, as immortalized by Carl Skånberg, Anders Trulson, Julius Kronberg, Albert Edelfelt, Carl Wilhelmson, Nils Kreuger, Prins Eugen, and Bruno Liljefors. These artists captured the maritime beauty and golden light of the Swedish coast.

The light of the west coast in your decor
Hanging an art print of Göteborg is like inviting the clarity of the North and the charm of the maritime world into your home. The art prints of Göteborg evoke port sailboats, sunsets over the sea, old alleys, and coastal landscapes bathed in changing light.
These works integrate beautifully into a Scandinavian, contemporary, or natural decor, bringing calm, balance, and elegance.
A harbor view painted by Wilhelmson, a stormy sky by Liljefors, or a marine scene by Kreuger will give your walls the luminous softness and serenity of the Swedish west coast.
The painting of Göteborg is characterized by soft tones, diffuse light, and poetic attention to the sea and elements.

The great painters of Göteborg
Carl Wilhelmson (1866–1928), native of the region, embodies the maritime soul of the west coast. His scenes of fishermen and marine landscapes convey the quiet strength of coastal life.
Nils Kreuger (1858–1930), a member of the Varberg group, combined naturalism and modernity in landscapes bathed in golden light.
Bruno Liljefors (1860–1939) painted Nordic nature with striking realism, blending movement and spirituality.
Prins Eugen of Sweden (1865–1947) captured Scandinavian light in sober and elegant landscapes.
Carl Skånberg (1850–1883) and Julius Kronberg depicted Göteborg and its surroundings in a romantic and luminous atmosphere.
Anders Trulson (1874–1911), a modernist figure, brought a symbolist sensitivity to Göteborg painting.
These artists made Göteborg a major center of Swedish art, between sea, sky, and light.
